LOL it would take me 14days to install.

J/K I guess I'm just worried about the dealer finding out and then my warrenty is toast. I know I can set it back to 0 for warrenty work.

Any news on when there going to include a speed limiter removal. Might be going to Germany in About 4 months and would like to remove the limiter.

Seems there are a lot of good experiences with the box.

Anyone with, or hear of, any bad experiences or have any problems after an install?

Thanks for the info. I am going to wait until they have the whole package out (power and limter removal) before i purchase this.

On a 330 you are looking at 10-12 gains through most of the powerband.

thanks mike!

I just bought one. I am excited about the increased driving pleasure production this PBX will allow my ultimate driving machine to provide me with.

JIM E92 · 03-22-2010, 07:13 PM

Mike, what about the A/F mixture? looks like stock is already running a-little richer than stoichiometric (14.7 to 1). This tune is sometimes running below 12:1. That's pretty rich. Long term i'd worry about carbon build-up on the piston and valves. You should include a lifetime supply of Seafoam with each purchase.

Its better to be running rich then lean

Also note that that A/F reading is taken at WOT which is not where you spend most of your time driving, or at-least I hope not or you will have a lot of speeding tickets

Hi,

First post for me on this board

I bought a 2010 323i couple of weeks ago, and am considering doing this mod but I really don't want to install it myself.

Does anyone know of a place in the greater Toronto area that could install this for me?

Thanks.

I can do it for you. I am in Mississauga, so just down the QEW. You can pickup as well if you want or we can ship it to you as we ship from Toronto, NY and Cali so we have the whole continent covered

LOL

Shoot me an email and we can coordinate Mike @ n54tuning . com

I had the pbx installed today, or rather Mike installed it for me

I would recommend this to everyone, the throttle response with this is amazing.

This resolved my big annoyance with the car, I don't need to jam the pedal to get it going from stand still anymore!

Thanks again Mike.

Guys, is it true that the PBX bought directly from US needs to be re-tuned to accomodate the different grade of fuel and climate in Asia (e.g Malaysia, S'pore, Thailand....)? Isn't this supposed to be plug & play?
